...mTV!

Oh, wait...

The OTHER innovative thing from MicroSHIT. Maybe the next ZOOOOOOOON

LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

Microgarbage: morons of society.

M$ policy of FUD may well have a modicum of success in the corporate world, but how well it will work in the post iPod & TV/DVD/HiFi dominated home arena is another matter entirely.

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Hey, they can call it MSN Video and 12 months from now, when they ditch the Zune, they can make all the downloaded files completely incompatible with the Zune successor! History repeating itself!

Add wireless and a couple of connectors to their Media Center and they are there. Big deal. Apple's will be good for iTunes integration and the MS will be good for Win Media and DVR. Pick your poison, neither is truly great.

Isn't it more like:

"MS may release new product at some point that may compete with some new product Apple may release at some point. Stay tuned as more details come in!"

Next thing you know someone's going to be reporting that Apple might be working on some type of cell phone that may compete in the mobile phone market, or perhaps the smart phone market, or the over-featured phone market, or might provide their own phone service, or work with any phone service, or sign a deal to work with a specific provider.

Or people could just spend three seconds to proof read their writings rather than rely on some computer to purport that something is written correctly or not.

This doesn't settle anything. Its like a Ken Lay returning the money he took to Enron. They still have to deal with the consequences of their actions, whatever that might be (could be a slap on the wrist, a verbal tongue-lashing, jail-time, break-up the company, sell off all assets and give it to the investors, etc, etc, etc).

I think MS is missing a big point. They're planning a whole computer which will serve as a media hub. And how is it going to get its content to the TVs? They are still going to need either a lot of wire or some type of wireless link. I know that the Xbox 360 already has this functionality built in (which may be able to be used for one TV) but if you have other TVs, any sane person wouldn't buy an Xbox for each TV. Apple's plan makes a lot more sense. It sounds like something Uncle Fester (Ballmer) pulled out of his a** at the last minute to grab some headlines. It's vaporware at this point. At least Apple as presented a prototype, feature list and a plan.

Anyone who reads MacroSuck(tm)'s DRM strategy for Visturd(tm) will definitely NOT want ANYTHING to do with this thing.
